Agree, a dual zipper would make the pocket more useful.@ExoMtnGear
Can you please explain how the stretch pocket is supposed to be used on the 7200? It seems like the zipper is on the wrong side, and with only 1 zipper pull I found it was frequently necessary to undo a cross strap and one lid buckle to actually get into the "quick" access stretch pocket. I tried for a week and couldn't figure out a convenient way to use that pocket, what am I missing?
Yes. Even a few miles with heavy weight will make a big difference.Does the K4 belt get less stiff as you break it in? I really couldn't get the belt to initially feel comfortable w/ my boney hips.

I know barely enough to have an opinion.Ohh what do you know about packing meat with a K4?
Give yourself more credit then that, I thought you did a pretty good jobI know barely enough to have an opinion.
I'll try harder next time, I swear.Give yourself more credit then that, I thought you did a pretty good job
The K4 belt was better for me after a break in period. It’s really niceDoes the K4 belt get less stiff as you break it in? I really couldn't get the belt to initially feel comfortable w/ my boney hips.
I find things to be about as simple as possible and agree that familiarity is the key.As mentioned above, we do use orange stitching on the frame's compression straps. We strive to make everything as simple as possible, but also encourage everyone to get familiar with their pack before those moments when an animal is down and you are often tired, often dehydrated, often in a rush, and have meat to take care of.
One small thing that helps is to break down the pack before you start breaking down the animal. When you disconnect the frame-to-bag compression straps, tuck them out of the way, leaving only the frame/meat compression straps exposed. That way when you go to load meat on the frame everything is already prepped, ready, and straightforward.
